The legacy of Kgosi Bathoen and the BNF politics

This will also include profiles of its former leaders. We start with a profile of the legacy of former president, Cde Bathoen Gaseitsiwe.  

The late Gaseitsiwe was noble man who loathed nobility. The man who didn’t mind just being addressed as ‘Comrade B2’ was a seasoned and time tested politician who loathed politics, yet embodying high political ideals and down to earth views expressed in straight talk (Puo Phaa) fashion – all the virtues of a simpler and serene leader. Gaseitsiwe occupies a unique place in Botswana’s political history.
